WhatsApp for iPhone lets you add figurines to images; know how to use

WhatsApp released three new features for iPhone users (iOS). Update 2.19.10 allows you to use stickers in images, provides a shortcut to respond to participants from particular groups, and the ability to individually forward or delete grouped stickers. The functions came first in the trial version of the app, according to a WABeta Info website, last Friday (4), but can already be found in the official application.

The platform expands the chances of editing the photos, which can be customized more according to the sender, and also offers a new way of interaction, with the group-specific function. See, in the following tutorial, how the new WhatsApp features work. The procedure was performed on an iPhone 8 with iOS 12, but the tips are also valid for other models of the Apple phone. To take the step by step is necessary to have the last version of the application installed on the mobile - see how to upgrade.

How to respond in private

In chat groups, tap on an incoming message until the support menu appears. Choose the "Respond on Private" option. When using the shortcut, the conversation with the contact will open with the message quoted. Finally, just enter the reply and send - see the complete tutorial. The function is useful to prevent conversations from losing context because of the large volume of simultaneous messages.
